           Alltel launches Text-to-Landline service with TeleMessage


Messaging International Plc, the AIM traded provider of innovative messaging
services, has, through its 100% owned subsidiary, TeleMessage Ltd, signed an
agreement with Alltel Wireless, America's largest network, providing coverage
across the nation, to launch its Text-to-Landline service.  This application
will allow Alltel Wireless subscribers to send text messages from a wireless
phone to any landline phone and receive responses back to the wireless phone.

With the Text-to-Landline application, Alltel customers can create and send text
messages which are converted to voice messages and retrieved by landline
recipients. The recipient can then respond by voice to the wireless customer,
who will receive the reply message as a text.  Also, a status text message will
be sent to inform the wireless customer that the message was either delivered to
a live person or a voicemail system. Text-to-Landline is available for the cost
of a standard text message.

'The Text-to-Landline application complements our existing Axcess Voice2TXT
application, which quickly converts incoming voicemails to text messages in the
customer's inbox and also allows customers to store and forward converted
voicemails as regular text messages,' said Craig Kirkland, director of messaging
and voice services for Alltel Wireless. Now voicemail messages left by landline
customers can be answered by replying to the text message enabling two-way data
communication between landline and wireless phone users.

Guy Levit, CEO of Messaging International, said, 'Our agreement with Alltel
Wireless ensures that TeleMessage's Text-to-Landline application is now
available on over 159 million handsets in North America, allowing millions of
people to enjoy the benefits of this service. With more telecom operators
understanding the importance of this application, the Text-to-Landline service
is increasingly being seen by customers worldwide as a popular method of quick
and easy communication.'
